Child Language and Agrammatism: A Comparison The Use of Pronouns – Focused on the English Language

Abstract

This thesis gives an overview of several hypotheses within Linguistic research about the use of pronouns. The target groups used as an example were children and agrammatics, with a bit more focus on aphasia. The thesis explains how children and agrammatics suffer from the same problem: interpreting and producing pronouns. Several theories were covered to explain this phenomenon and specifically Nada Vasic's work was the leading thread.
